Out of Context

The other day I got some notification that a person had Twittered a Tweet on what the kids are calling the Internets and this Twitation invoked my name somehow. It's all very confusing, I know. Just try to follow along.

Anyway, the notification indicated that this person Tweeted a quote from Stranger. And when I saw this, the thought came to me, "this isn't necessarily a good thing." Because there are a LOT of things you could quote from Stranger out of context . . . well . . . and sometimes in context, that wouldn't exactly make me look great. So I did a quick scan and found some examples for you from over the years. Enjoy:

Hey that was me that quoted and mentioned you on Twitter! I wondered if it would confuse you. I see it did, but it also inspired a hilarious post! Can I get a follow now? It's a twitter thing :) Thanks for kinda sorta mentioning me on your blog!

This is JUST like one of those episodes of tv shows when they spend the whole thing doing flashbacks to other episodes. Not complaining, because I'm laughing hysterically over here. Somehow I missed the post about the "your place smells like cat feces" and I had never read the Russian cookie one. Laughing so so so hard.

In your short sampling; you mention the word prostitute 3 times, you elude to sex 2 times, mention your underwear twice, and cats only ONCE? If this is an accurate portrayal of Stranger, this blog is super edgy. Perhaps you should have a rating for younger and innocent eyes somewhere at the top. This is definitely pg-13 material. :)

Eli, I looooove your blog so hard. I wish we were real true life friends. Maybe someday... Anyway, I'm mostly writing this to let you know that while I was enjoying your recent blog post my anti virus popped up and said it detected a threat on this page.. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do to prevent things like that from happening but I thought I'd let you know.

As is the case more often than not, your post succeeded in making me laugh out loud (for real). I also felt like after reading this post I should come down and do a comment confession that I actually have a twitter account specifically for statements taken out of context from my office (@InTheWarRoom) because my co-workers say some highly entertaining things.

P.S. They do know about this. It's not a secret or anything like that. Sometimes they even supply me with quotes from meetings/gatherings that I wasn't there for.
